Islamabad, Aug 26: It seems like Pakistan finally got time to congratulate India for its historic Chandrayaan-3 Moon Mission after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully landed a rover on the south pole of the Moon, becoming the first nation to do so.
During a weekly press briefing on Friday (August 25), Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said, "India getting to the Moon is a big achievement. We congratulate Indian scientists on achieving this milestone."

The successful landing on the south pole of the Moon emerged as a paradigm shift in the area of space exploration, not only for India but also for the entire world.
India, along with the whole world, cheered when the unmanned Chandrayaan-3 touched down, though there were some mocking Western media.
World leaders congratulated Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was watching it live virtually from South Africa, where he was attending the BRICS Summit. He was seen smiling broadly as he announced the mission's success as a triumph that extended beyond his country's borders.
PM Modi said: "On this joyous occasion I would like to address the people of the world. India's successful Moon mission is not just India's alone. This success belongs to all of humanity."
However, it appears that India's neighbours were having burnol moment as it took two days for Pakistan to wish the Indian space agency, while China is still completely silent.
